I have always thought that this “Under 40” category was very unnecessary and biased. I entered real estate at 40. Do we have an under 50 Category? Senior Citizen category? No we don’t. So why are we trying to celebrate people for being under 40? Shouldn’t it all be based on performance according to the number of years you have been in Real Estate?
Marc, I agree. My daughter started when she was 40 and is outstanding! I never did agree with this.
I have always disliked this bias, as well. I’m glad to hear I’m not alone. I got in at 41.
